    A7 Being at a @leaderinme school really helps us focus on being kind to others and showing leadership skills both in and outside the classroom #TLAP

    A6: Who could you invite into class as part of an authentic audience for your Ss? Well, “Arrreee” kids were super excited to have the most famous PIRATE @burgessdave read to us during DEAR time last year! Excited to possibly have @burgess_shelley this year!☠️ #TLAP #MLmagical

    A7 Lead by example. If I am not willing to pursue excellence, if I'm not willing to be their hero, then how can I expect exceptionality from them? #TLAP

    Loved my time with your Ss, Brandi. #tlap

    A7: Ss have to know that they are valued. Only then will they realize what a positive influence they can have on the world. Establish relationships with all Ss. Remember a "human" side of teaching: they aren't just numbers; they are three-dimensional human beings. #tlap
  • kdpearson Sep 24 @ 9:53 PM EDT
    A7: I think is important to model a legacy. Show Ss how to connect with Ts! The legacy starts within the school. I tell my Ss they have the power to change our class, our class has the power to change our grade level, and our grade level has the power to change our school! #Tlap
  • gdorn1 Sep 24 @ 9:53 PM EDT
    A7. For our Ss to be the best person they can be, be proud of who they are, and what they represent! #tlap

    A7: I always try to help my Ss find their passions and pursue them. It is so awesome to see them pursuing their dreams and being successful. Show your Ss you believe in them and they will do amazing things. #tlap #MLmagical
  • heywaysELA Sep 24 @ 9:53 PM EDT
    A7: Super passionate about helping Ss be independent and proud of who they are and courageous to stand up for themselves in a positive way. Pushing Ss to reach their potential and then celebrate the wins with them! Help Ss understand their work and ideas are important! #TLAP

      Q7 ✨Legacy✨ As educators we have a MAGICAL opportunity to not only leave our own legacy but to also help our Ss be legacy leavers too. How can you help your Ss realize they are heroes--that they can leave a positive legacy wherever they go?💫 #MLmagical #TLAP
  • tishrich Sep 24 @ 9:53 PM EDT
    So true! I've experienced this too! #tlap #MLmagical
    • Culinaryteach21 Sep 24 @ 9:47 PM EDT
      A6: I have invited chefs, restaurant owners, staff members and business partners in to judge various competitions and presentations my Ss definitely perform better when they know it’s for someone else #TLAP #MLmagical

    A4: #tlap I’m working on trying a flipped classroom through @edpuzzle and @Screencastify I also use @KaganOnline structures that allows Ss to “peer tutor”

      Q4✨Innovation✨ When we let go of the notion that we have to be the expert & empower Ss to become the experts instead, our classrooms become a MAGICAL place of innovation & possibility. Share some ways that you allow your Ss to be the expert in your classroom. #MLmagical #TLAP
